Hello Davide, Hello mailinglist users, I joined the mailing list today and move this thread to the list. Maybe someone has already solved my problem...

The problem is not that courier is not working. The problem is that courier replaces LF with CRLF for sending. This results in CRCRLF which causes problems with some mail clients. It seems there's no easy solution for my problem: * XMail uses very efficient code to send a mail because it can send mails as they are. It's maybe a lot of work to add CR/LF transformation :( * the Courier people will definitely not change the file format that is used The only thing i could do is to migrate fully to courier. But that's bad because i like the way xmail is designed and it works very well since a long time. What do you think how much work it would be to add (optional) CR/LF transformation to xmail? How many things must be changed? Would a modified SysDepLinux.cpp do the thing? In that case at least some SmtpServer code (the part that receives/writes a mail) must be modified to access system dependend code. Hope you can help me. Thanks a lot.
